The International Trade Commission published notices in the Sept. 11 Federal Register on the following AD/CVD injury, Section 337 patent or other trade proceedings (any notices that warrant a more detailed summary will be in another ITT article):
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, at the first Supply Chain Summit, said she can't believe how many single points of failure are present in semiconductor supply chains.
U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai told podcast hosts at Bloomberg News that the U.S. and other countries that lost manufacturing jobs as China ramped up its exports from 2000 to 2019 are saying: "We will not tolerate, we cannot tolerate a China Shock 2.0."
The International Trade Commission published notices in the Aug. 30 Federal Register on the following AD/CVD injury, Section 337 patent or other trade proceedings (any notices that warrant a more detailed summary will be in another ITT article):
The International Trade Commission is beginning a Section 337 investigation on allegations that imports of semiconductor devices from Innoscience are infringing on patents held by Infineon Technologies, the ITC said in a notice released Aug. 29. Infineon's complaint, filed in July (see 2408010017), said Innoscience is incorporating Infineon’s patented gallium nitride (GaN) technology into its power transistors and circuit products, including GaN-on-Si semiconductor devices, GaN Field Effect Transistors (FETs) and GaN high electron mobility transistors, as well as downstream chips that incorporate the transistors and circuits. The ITC will consider whether to issue a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order banning import and sale of infringing products from Innoscience.
American drone maker Anzu Robotics produces DJI drones, not its own designs, allege the leaders of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party.
Canada will soon impose a 100% import tariff on all Chinese-made electric vehicles and a 25% tariff on certain Chinese steel and aluminum products, moves that will protect its auto industry from what it said are Beijing’s “unfair, non-market policies and practices.”
Princeton University professor Aaron Friedberg, who serves on the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, says his recent Foreign Affairs essay on addressing Chinese exporting ambitions is an effort to put forward a vision of what "we want the global economy to actually look like," something he says has been missing in the piecemeal efforts of Section 301 tariffs, EU trade defenses and anti-coercion instruments and other reactions to Chinese nonmarket overcapacity.
The International Trade Commission will consider whether to issue a general exclusion order banning all imports of wireless front-end modules from Kangxi Communication Technologies, as well as routers that contain them, that allegedly infringe on patents held by Skyworks, the ITC said in a notice Aug. 22. In a Section 337 complaint (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1413) filed in July (see 2407230023), Skyworks said KCT and its affiliate Grand Chip Labs are making unauthorized and unlicensed copies of its patented wireless front-end modules, including the KCT FEMs under the names KCT8539S and KCT8547HE, which are then being incorporated into downstream routers from D-Link Systems and Ruijie Networks. The ITC also will consider cease and desist orders against KCT, D-Link and Ruijie.
The International Trade Commission is beginning a Section 337 investigation on allegations from MimirIP that imports of NAND devices from Micron and electronic devices from several of its downstream customers are infringing on its patents, the ITC said in a notice Aug. 13. In its July complaint (see 2407160011), MimirIP said Micron is manufacturing NAND memory devices that copy its patented manufacturing methods and chip structure, which in turn are incorporated into consumer electronics from Acer, HP, Kingston and Lenovo. The ITC will consider a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order banning the import and sale of infringing products from all five companies.
